China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 410 Choosing a Woman

Manslaughter, a high-scoring Indy movie.

Just by looking at the domestic Douban ratings, you can tell how well the script of this film is written. After all, for Chinese people, Indy movies with a lot of singing and dancing will actually lower the ratings. In addition, most Indy movies are not as high-quality as Hollywood. Special effects are inherently less effective.

Even so, the rating of Manslaughter and Hidden Sky reached an astonishing 8.6.

You know, "Shaolin Soccer" only scored 8.1, and Lao Mouzi's "Hero" only scored 7.6.

The above two films are covered by big names. Whether it is Stephen Chow, Ng Meng-tat, Jet Li, Zhang Yimou and others, their fan base is very good. Under such circumstances, they are not better than a "shoddy" Indy film in terms of reputation. , which is enough to illustrate the quality of this Indy film.

Xiao Yang, who later sang the role of Little Apple, starred in the remake of "Manslaughter". He himself also received a lot of positive reviews, and the results after its release were also very good, which is evidence that the script of this movie is really good.

When Fang Yu made Manslaughter, the biggest problem was the change in cultural background.

The original film was set in Indy, and many differences in logical thinking required him to reimagine the details.

The most important part of making a movie is the choice of director and actors.

Fang Yu made this film, firstly, to win an award, and secondly, to slap in the face a bunch of sour monsters who said he could only make horror movies.

So this time the male lead must be him, and it can only be him.

There are six main characters in Manslaughter.

Father, mother, eldest daughter, younger daughter, female prosecutor, police chief.

Fang Yu can play a father at his age. The only problem is that the daughter in the film will encounter a rape scene, so his daughter must be at least 14 years old. This leaves a lot to be desired for Fang Yu’s stylist and his own acting skills. It brought quite a test.

Of course, improving acting skills is not as good as changing the script and changing the character.

Fang Yu directly changed the male protagonist's family background into a family of early marriage, and brought out the plot of unexpected pregnancy after eating forbidden fruit and giving birth to two girls.

Using this plot can amplify the anger of the father's character, because he understands the serious consequences of having a relationship at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

After the father's character is almost perfect, the next step is to consider the role of the mother.

Since it's forbidden fruit, the role of the mother must not be too big. It is best to be on the same level as Fang Yu, so Jia Jingwen, who is obviously older than Fang Yu, cannot play the role.

This year Fang Yu is 26, has a more mature temperament, and looks like Ben San.

People with three legs are hard to find, but there are plenty of 30-year-old actresses.

The first person Fang Yu thought of was Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan is just thirty, her age is suitable, and she has a good rapport with Fang Yu, making her suitable to play Fang Yu's wife.

But thinking about it carefully, Gao Yuanyuan is suitable but not quite suitable.

Mainly because Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are a bit weak.

Gao Yuanyuan is good when she plays some roles that are very suitable for her, but whenever she plays some roles that require strong emotional expression, her own shortcomings will be exposed.

In this film, Fang Yu is preparing to have all the actors perform well and compete for international awards, so the heroine must be chosen carefully.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen were not suitable, and Liu Yifei was also a little reluctant.

To say that the one with the best acting skills among the four girls is probably Cai Zhuoyan.

Choi Cheuk-yan's title as the Queen of Hong Kong is no nonsense. She has been nominated for Best Actress three times and once for Best Supporting Actress. She also took home a Best Actress trophy at the Golden Bauhinia Award. There is absolutely no big problem with her acting skills.

Moreover, Cai Zhuoyan was born with a very childish feeling, and his clumsy appearance also made him look like a woman who would get pregnant early.

Cai Zhuoyan put it aside for now, Fang Yu also wanted to see if there was anyone with better acting skills.

The acting skills of Li Xiaolu, Fan Jinsuo, Zhang Ziyi, Wan Qian, and even Ma Su can be regarded as the ceiling for 30-year-old actresses.Needless to say, Li Xiaolu, no matter how Lulu is a wife, her Huading and Golden Horse are not stolen.

Fan Jinsuo's resume is quite impressive. Wherever the four trophies of Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, Hundred Flowers, and Huading are placed, people who don't like her will have to shut up and admit her acting skills.

Ma Su has Feitian, Golden Eagle, and Magnolia.

Wan Qian is a little weak, but she also has a golden horse.

The strongest one may still be Zhang Ziyi.

Three-time Huabiao Award for Best Actress.

Two-time Hundred Flowers Award winner for Best Actress.

Two-time Academy Award winner for Best Actress.

One Golden Horse, one Golden Rooster.

As for this honor as an actor, even if Fang Yu were to try, he wouldn't be able to beat it.

After choosing and choosing, I finally settled on Cai Zhuoyan and Zhang Ziyi.

Fang Yu thought carefully.

This story of manslaughter and concealment is a classic that is very easy to reproduce.

But it is also a very rare movie.

It's not like "Painted Skin" or "A Chinese Ghost Story" where the original script was overturned and the only loss was a small amount of money.

But if a good script is wasted, there will only be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future.

Fang Yu didn't have any good opportunities in his previous life.

The opportunities he thought were possible had all passed by.

There are many opportunities in this life, but he doesn't want to miss a good opportunity for no reason because of some selfish motives. Maybe if a certain link is not good enough, he may lose the opportunity to take another step forward.

Having a good opponent can stimulate people's desire to fight, and the same is true in acting.

If you are faced with a cheerful actor competing for a role, it will be twice as difficult for the actor himself. When you have a good target for the role, you can quickly get into the role and immerse yourself in the background of the story.

Zhang Ziyi is obviously the more suitable heroine for Manslaughter at the moment.

Fang Yu, who gave up reuniting with Cai Zhuoyan for the sake of his career, set his sights on the remaining characters.

Two daughters, one older and one younger.

One is set at ages fourteen to sixteen, and one is set at seven to eight years old.

The range of choices for female child stars is extremely narrow, especially those with qualified acting skills, which makes it even harder to choose.

Fang Yu didn't think too much about the role of the eldest daughter. He thought that Yang Zi, who had not yet fully grown up, would be the most suitable person to play the role of Xiaoxue in Family With Children, whom he had met once when they landed at Peking Airport.

The first is age compliance.

Secondly, although her current acting skills are average, Xiaoxue's classic image can make the audience innately like her. When she is bullied, the audience will naturally side with her. The harder she is bullied, the more the audience will The more she hates those who bully her.

The audience will subconsciously join the protagonist's camp. When the protagonist starts to show his flaws, the audience will also become nervous as the plot unfolds. This is a little casting trick summed up by Fang Yu's experience in the industry.
